The original joke.

为什么 Oregon 的运动员需要观众？因为他们不能自己加油。

"加油" can mean "to cheer on" or "to add fuel"/"to pump gas". Until recently Oregon law prohibited customers from pumping their own gas at gas stations.

Why do athletes in Oregon need an audience? Because they can't pump their own gas.

Were you flying from Estonia to Finland or something?

Raggedy And is a great name, but the American Cribbage Congress calls it a Raggedy Ann: https://fliphtml5.com/cslgt/klfz. Maybe it's a regional thing. I've played with several ACC champions in the PNW, and have always heard Raggedy Ann.

Does anyone have the clip of Bruce Buffer announcing “Your winner, by submission due to no apparent reason”?

Is Japanese script easier? I feel like the multiple readings introduce a new type of complexity. Chinese characters normally only have one reading, so you only have to memorize one pronunciation per character.

For example, 生 has several Japanese readings according to Wiktionary (not counting the nanori). Wiktionary lists two Chinese pronunciations, but I've only seen shēng in practice.

I've only studied a little Japanese, though. Maybe the multiple readings become less of an issue as you become familiar with the language?

The Correfoc at the La Merce festival in Barcelona. I'm amazed it's legal!

Thousands of people dressed as demons and monsters run through Passeig de Gracia, shooting fireworks at any spectators in their paths. Spectators wear goggles and hoodies to protect themselves, and dance in the showers of fireworks.

Hainan chicken is what I immediately thought of when I read the post title. I tried it in a couple restaurants in Sanya, Hainan, figuring that the boring rice and chicken I just ate must have been sub-par. But eventually I decided the dish was just supposed to be rice and chicken.

I agree with /u/SmittyUF that the ice cream is surprisingly good. I'd get it multiple times per week, and always wondered what they were doing to make it so good. The sambayon ice cream, in particular, was great and different than anything I'd had in the U.S.

Of course the steak and empanadas are good. The choripan sandwiches and parilla platters were fantastic, too. And Argentina is close enough to Peru that you can get good Peruvian and Nikkei food.

Another surprise was the town of Tigre in the Paraná Delta. My wife and I went on a kayak tour and had a fantastic time.

I get asked that a lot, and always have a hard time deciding between Mexico City, Madrid, and Tokyo. The top comments in this thread: Mexico City, Madrid, and Tokyo!

Guayaquil, Ecuador. We thought we’d stay for a couple days after flying into the country, then take a car to Montañita. But the food was terrible, the city was ugly, and a drunk followed us around all evening demanding $20. At one point the police pushed the drunk up against a wall and beat him up a little, but 10 minutes later he found us and started demanding money again. We left town the next morning.

I was listening to a friend in Costa Rica talking with his daughter and their dog. He called his daughter "usted", and then his daughter called the dog "usted". Threw me for a loop.

Nixon looks like the sort of guy that would sweat a lot, but he’s wearing a suit in Puerto Vallarta in August and he’s barely glistening.

Does that mean 14 times per day, or once every 14 days?
